No.1 BC: Notes

End of napkins era

Better information management

Got an idea? Note it. Thinking how to keep it secret? Encrypt it. Get all your notes on your phone protected with strong encryption. All your notes will be absolutely inaccessible by any unwanted watchers and readers. Be sure your information is kept private.

Keep it noted

Modern living makes us process tremendous amounts of information. It gets impossible to remember everything and keep it in mind. Something you do need to write and take notes. Good thing about it is that taking notes help to better organize working process and make it more effective.

Protect your notes

It is time to face the truth. Napkins are no longer an option for taking notes. Some services suggest you secure your notes and use password protection. Some services go further and offer notes encryption, e.g. you send your data over the Internet and they encypt it, as if Internet was a safe place.

Who encrypts your notes?

Network servers?

Cloud?

You.

You are in charge of encryption

Yes, it is You who is in charge of securing your notes. Notes encryption happes right in your hands. All your data is processed on-card so not even a bit travels outside of secure environment.

Why it is different

No.1 BC: Notes application not does only use strong encryption which is launched only when you enter your PIN, but also gives you additional authorization level with passwords.

*Storing encryption keys ‘as is’ is not secure. AES key is encrypted by public RSA key. Only private RSA key matching the pair (which was generated on-card) can decrypt it.

**Private RSA key is generated on-card and is never copied elsewhere. It is protected by PIN.

Your list of notes

Now you can see the list of all notes you’ve created and dates when each entry was added. No.1 BC does not empose any time limits for storing notes; so basically, you can store them forever within subscription terms.

Adding a new note

Type the text you would like to keep secret and secured.

Save the note

When you are done, save the note. You will be requested to enter PIN every time you save a note.

Why PIN?

Encrypt note

1

To confirm that you are the card owner and have an intention to enctrypt some information you need to enter card PIN.

4

New note is encrypted with the random AES key (from step 2)

Encrypting data in some countries is illegal.

Service providers have to provide all secret keys for data decryption to Intelligence Agencies.

Random one-time key

2

The system generates one-time random AES-256 key, which will encrypt only the note you just created.

The System generates one-time random AES-256 key, which will encrypt just created note. Each note has own individual one-time encryption key.

Encrypting note

Note is encrypted with randomly generated AES-256 key. Each note has own individual one-time encryption key

RSA keys

3

A pair of asymmetric keys are generated on-card. Public key is used for encryption. Private key (decryption key) stays on-card.

Entered PIN launches public key encryption. Asymmetric public and private keys, generated on-card, are activated only by PIN. Public key is used only for encryption. Private key used for decryption always stays on-card and is never copied outside of the card. Private key is stored on temper-resistant area and by no means can be extracted.

*Note title is enctrypted separately with a different encryption key.

Encrypting random AES key

5

Random one-time AES-256 key is encrypted with the public RSA key, which is stored on-card. Only matching private key can decrypt it.

New notes entry

The latest note just appeared on top of the list. To read the note you will need to enter PIN, which initiates a chain of decryption processes similar to illustrated above.

Every time you need to add a new note, encryption process starts from begining - entering card PIN.

Every time you need to read a note decryption process starts from the very begining - entering card PIN.

Ultimate protection

Only No.1 BC offers this level of security powered by No.1 BC card. Only this approach allows to encrypt and decrypt data right in your hands without sending it somewhere on the Internet. No men-in-the-middle. No unwanted readers. Your data is safe and secured.
